Kosovo war veterans block road to stop visit by Serbian president

After Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo President Hashim Thaci called off a meeting Friday in which they were going to have their first talks on a possible land swap deal, Vucic visited Kosovo over the weekend. After Vucic spoke at a gathering of thousands of Serbs in North Mitrovica, he had to cancel a visit to the Serb village of Banje after about 200 ethnic Albanian Kosovo war veterans blocked the road leading to it and burned tires and wood.
